Aldi Ireland is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day by spotlighting Irish suppliers, encouraging shoppers to make patriotic purchases over the holiday.
From 13 March, shoppers can snap up a huge range of Irish-made food and drink products that have emerged from the Grow With Aldi programme, now part of its seasonal range.
Grow With Aldi is a product accelerator and supplier development programme which selects the best of Irish producers and gives them a chance to have their items stocked at 163 Aldi stores nationwide.
Since 2018, Aldi has invested more than €10.5 million in the initiative, supporting hundreds of small businesses along the way.
Products
One such business is FemFuelz, a product developed by brother and sister team William and Kylie O’Donoghue which is designed specifically to meet the nutritional needs of women.
The Limerick-based supplement brand, which came up in Grow With Aldi 2023, is launching its FemFuelz White Chocolate Whey Protein (€16.49).
Since it first landed on Aldi shelves, FemFuelz has secured contracts exceeding €1.6 million with the retailer, helping to support its growth and expansion.
Customers can also fuel up with Sibly Cacao & Orange Energy Ball Pot 2-Pack (€2.95) from Grow With Aldi 2022.
Based in Ballydesmond, Co. Cork, the Sibly Food Co.’s range of energy balls have been a customer favourite since first arriving in stores nearly three years ago.
Also from the 2022 programme is Builín Blasta Smoked Onion Mayo (€4.49) – a fridge staple that recently claimed Gold at the Blas na hÉireann Irish Food Awards 2024.
Enhance meals with a pinch of Skillet & Spice Everything Seaosning (€3.99), a versatile pantry must-have from Co. Carlow that took part in Grow With Aldi 2024.
Sprinkle it over salads, add to morning eggs or toss into a stir fry – the options are endless.
All of these and more from past programmes will be available in store.
‘The Taste Of Home’
Speaking about Best of Grow, Aldi buying director Rachael O’Connor said, “At Aldi, we are proud to celebrate and champion the finest Irish food and drink, working with suppliers all year round to deliver high-quality products at affordable prices.
“That is why we are delighted to bring back some of the products that have participated in Grow With Aldi just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, allowing our customers to sample award-winning Irish flavours and enjoy the taste of home.
“From award-winning condiments to delicious on-the-go snacks, there is so much to discover and savour!”
The range arrives in Aldi stores nationwide on 13 March and is available for a limited time while stocks last.
